After dinner, Zhou Weiying accompanied Zhou Ping for a walk, while Qin Zheng and Luo Yue were talking in the study.

Qin Zheng said: "Little Ronaldo, you should know that our next focus is the Russo-Japanese War, and this will be the Guan Jian War that will rise. Therefore, we will do our best to prepare for this war. Have you read the information about the Russo-Japanese War that I gave you?"

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Dad, I have seen it carefully."

Qin Zheng said: "That's good, there is still a big battle to fight later, but for you, this war is also a good opportunity to make achievements."

Luo Yue said: "Yes, this time I have summarized some combat experience. Although we are fighting in the jungle in the south this time, there are also a large number of forest areas in the Northeast region, and some combat experience is not limited to jungle warfare. Therefore, it should be useful in the future Northeast War."

Qin Zheng said: "Very good, you are a person with a heart, I am still at ease with this. However, the scale of the Russo-Japanese War is different from the war we experienced before. First of all, the army. The total number of troops invested by both Japan and Russia is close to one million. We must prepare at least 300,000 troops. Now we have formed 8 divisions, of which 5 A-type divisions have been determined. Your first division is A-type division, and this scale is definitely not enough. It is expected to be expanded to 15 divisions, and 10-12 reserve divisions will be formed. Of course, this plan has not been finalized, but I think it will not be too far apart. After all, it takes so many troops to participate in the Russo-Japanese War."

Luo Yue of course understood Qin Zheng's meaning. The People's Army's Army would expand 7 divisions, which means that 7 division-level commanders would be added. Therefore, the time-traveling soldiers will have another general improvement. He will definitely be upgraded, and there is a high chance that he will directly serve as a division commander. The division level is an independent combat unit, and he can be promoted from a platoon leader to a division commander within 3 years, and he is indeed on the Rockets.

Qin Zheng said: "You should understand. With your military achievements, you will be promoted to a division commander and command one division to fight, but you can only serve as an ordinary division. One is a type of A division has been confirmed and it is impossible to make a temporary substitution. The other is that your qualifications are still a little short of that. Of course, the resources that ordinary divisions can obtain are not as good as those of the type of A division. Bijing A division is our ace army."

Luo Yue said: "I am very satisfied with being able to serve as a division commander directly. The battle is fought by people. In this era, people's subjective initiative is more effective than weapons. So whether it is a Class A Division or an ordinary division, it is ultimately necessary to see the truth from the battlefield. The title of the Ace Army is achieved through fighting, not by the A Class A Division or the Ordinary Division. In the old time and space, several ace troops in our army were built with military achievements, so as long as my division performs well on the battlefield, they can still become ace."

Qin Zheng was very satisfied with Luo Yue's answer and said, "It's great that you can think like this. I believe in your ability, but now there is still an opportunity. The Navy Department has already planned to officially establish the Marine Corps. The proposals have been submitted, just waiting for the approval of the Military Commission. However, this is also a formality, because the Military Commission has reached a joint nine, and they all believe that the Navy should have an independent Marine Corps, and it is even possible to independent the Marine Corps into a branch in the future. Of course, the Marine Corps currently has only one division plan, and you are a candidate among the commanders. I don't know if you are interested."

The Marine Corps is one of the important branches of the modern navy. Some countries are also called naval landing warfare, which is an important force in the navy's operations on the other side of the navy. In most countries, the Marine Corps is a group of troops in the navy that are responsible for cross-sea landing operations and other specific amphibious combat tasks; they are part of the national maritime power and an important force to realize the national maritime strategy? The main combat task of the Marine Corps is to independently or in coordination with the army to carry out cross-sea landing operations and anti-landing operations; they can also cooperate with the army to undertake coastal defense tasks and important island garrison tasks.

Because it was the United States in the old time and space, due to its global military combat requirements, the Marine Corps is an independent service with the ability to operate amphibiously in sea, land and air, and is directly commanded by the US President without being responsible to the speakers of the Senate and House of Representatives. It is the main combat force of the US rapid response force.

In fact, the people's army's army travelers all came from the Marine Corps. When the People's Army was first established, some people proposed the idea of ​​establishing a Marine Corps. However, both the army and the navy were not established for a long time, the military construction was not perfect, and there was no task of amphibious landing operations for the time being, so the Marine Corps was not established immediately. However, the action of Java's overseas Chinese protection made the Military Commission realize that it was time to establish a Marine Corps. Things like protecting overseas Chinese should have been allowed to be carried out. In the future, there is a very likely amphibious landing operation for combat against Japan and Russia. In this way, the establishment of a marine in the navy was also officially proposed to discuss.

Qin Zheng then said: "If you stay in the army, although you can only serve as the commander of the ordinary division, the war is imminent and there are many opportunities. As long as you perform well on the battlefield, the ordinary division can also be transformed into ace division. Moreover, the construction of the army has basically reached a scale and a complete system. If you stay in the army, you can follow the routes of military level, army group, and military region commander step by step. However, it is hard to say whether you can go further in the future or enter the Military Commission or the Ministry of National Defense. This requires time. The Marine Corps will definitely obtain more resources than the ordinary division in the early stage, but it is necessary to You have to start from scratch and start from scratch. Most of the resources you accumulated in the army before may be null and therefore will definitely be much more difficult than in the army. However, after the Marine Corps is built, you will be the leader of the army. In the future, we will definitely expand to Southeast Asia. The Marine Corps will definitely be of great use. In addition, if we have more overseas interests in the future, the Marine Corps is also likely to become an independent branch of the United States. In that case, you can become the commander of the military branch. In the future, both the Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense will have your place."

After listening to Qin Zheng's words, Luo Yue also thought about it. From a emotional point of view, he certainly tended toward the Marine Corps, because Luo Yue himself was from the Marine Corps, but now Luo Yue has to consider his future prospects and development. After all, China is a country with both sea and land, and the navy and army are indispensable. No matter which branch of the military, it has a broad development prospect, just look at which one is more suitable for him.

At this time, Qin Zheng said: "You don't have to decide immediately. You can think about it for a few more days. After all, the establishment of the Marine Corps still requires the Central Military Commission to discuss and approve it. Although it has been basically decided, this process will still be gone. In addition, you are not the only candidate. Therefore, even if you decide to join the Marine Corps, you may not be the top leader. If you are asked to be your deputy, are you still willing? You must consider these situations clearly. Once you decide, it will likely determine your future development direction."

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Dad, I will think about it seriously."

In the following days, Luo Yue and his wife lived at Qin Zheng's home. However, soldiers and middle and lower-level officers could enjoy a long vacation, but senior officers like Luo Yue did not have such good treatment. They only rested at home for a day and started working again to summarize this Javanese overseas Chinese protection campaign. This is a good habit brought by time travelers from the old time and space. After each military operation, they must carefully summarize, analyze success or failure, and then hand it over to the entire army to learn the experience.

In the overseas Chinese protection fleet, the commander-in-chief Shang Jinfeng made a comprehensive summary, the navy was summarized by Zhang Wei, and Luo Yue was responsible for the summary of the army. Fortunately, these tasks were not busy. In fact, on the way back to the voyage, Luo Yue had already started to clean up the information and summarize it, so now it is only necessary to summarize these information.

Three days later, the summary report of the three people was released. Although the operation in Java was very successful this time, many problems did reveal. In terms of the army, this is the first large-scale application of mortars to war in large quantities, which proves that mortars and grenade launchers have a very strong role in the army. Because mortars are easy to carry and easy to flexible, they can follow the army in both jungle warfare and street warfare. Moreover, mortars can not only greatly increase the army's firepower, but also improve the army's offensive capabilities. However, the disadvantage is that the range of mortars is somewhat insufficient now. The actual range of the 60 mortar is only 1,200-1,500 meters. In actual combat, this range is too close to the enemy's front. If it can be increased to more than 2,000 meters, it will play a greater role.

In addition, since there was no large-scale positional offensive and defensive war in Java, it was attacking enemy positions, so large-caliber mortars were not used much on the battlefield. How to fully play the role of large-caliber mortars in combat requires further training and testing in the future.

Compared to the mortars shining in battle, the light of the machine gun is much dimmer because the People's Army now has only Maxim machine guns, which are inconvenient to carry. Because it greatly restricts the performance of the machine guns in offensive battles, Luo Yue proposed to speed up the development of general-purpose machine guns.
